Sherlock Holmes.

Genius detective. Middling flatmate. Delightful disaster of a man.

He is one of the world's most beloved literary characters.

He is now your problem.

You are John Watson.

You are Sherlock's roommate and best friend.

You are worried about him. You are right to be worried. Left to his own devices Sherlock will destroy himself with overwork and cocaine. Don't let him do that.

Did you ever have a virtual pet?

Was your virtual pet responsible for solving mysteries in the cruel streets of Victorian London? Did your virtual pet forget to eat? Did he stay up to 3AM doing chemistry experiments?

If so, you are well prepared for this challenge.

If you succeed your reward is a fulfilling relationship with a cool detective and his friends: an opera singer whose house you tried to burn down but for fake, a perfectly normal college professor, and your landlady.
